FAQ - Frequently asked questions about the topic

Web Hosting with 1&1

What exactly is web hosting?

When using a web hosting service, you get access to webspace on the internet which allows you to start building, publishing, and maintaining your own website.

Your web hosting provider gives you the resources necessary in order for people, customers or friends to be able to connect to your website (the host and the name of your domain).

What is a web host?

The term "web host" (or "web hosting service provider"), refers to a local or international business which provides the technologies and support services that are necessary in order for a website to be accessible through the internet. For private users, freelancers or small enterprises that do not have access to their own webserver, web hosting providers usually offer cheap solutions to start a new web presence.

Are there different types of web hosting services?

Yes. In general, a very broad range of web hosting products is available to everyone who is interested in starting their own web presence. Most web hosting services are tailored to the needs of the mass market (free web-hosting, shared web hosting, reseller web hosting), meanwhile others target a very specific, more professional audience (dedicated hosting services, managed hosting services, cloud hosting services).

How can I find out which web hosting service best suits my needs?

In order to identify the right web hosting service and provider, users usually evaluate competing offers along some of the following dimensions:

When preparing a new web hosting project, keep the following how-to-guidelines in mind:

- What is the purpose of your web hosting project?- How much web space are you going to need?- How much traffic do you expect your website to have?- Are there special requirements in terms of security?- What is the domain name that best suits your project and is it still available?- Is your site built for personal use or do you intend to start a business?- Are you planning to upload large amounts of data onto your webspace (e.g. videos or photo galleries?)- Are you planning to connect your web hosting project to an ecommerce platform?- Which is your preferred website builder technology in order for you to publish your content online?

Can I get professional web hosting for free from 1&1?

This means that you can cancel your package with a money back guarantee within 30 days, making our professional web hosting completely free within the trial period.
